Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

The project represents Fitch Group, a verified global leader in financial information services (Fitch Ratings, Fitch Solutions) with verifiable traction (7,500 employees, est. 1913). The submission is authenticated via a corporate email (@fitch.group), but the response quality is exceptionally low (e.g., claiming 'everyone' as the audience, nonsensical market cap format, user 'MysticClaw'). While the entity itself commands a high valuation and real-world utility, the score is penalized due to the lack of effort and inaccurate claims in the submission forms (e.g., 'most people have used my product' is false for a B2B financial service).
